Quick AFL Update
Submitted by Rob G. on Thu, 08/25/2005 - 2:49pm
Felix Pie won't be playing in the Arizona Fall League, as reported in cubs.com.
Also, the nearly complete AFL rosters and a bit of a preview are up at minorleaguebaseball.com.
They do a quick rundown of some of the bigger name prospects and the only Cub reviewed is Angel Guzman.
Once upon a time, not too long ago, Guzman appeared poised to become the next Mark Prior. The only thing that's resembled the Cubs ace has been an injury history. He's made just a few outings in the Arizona League, but still only 23, there's time for him to become a top flight pitching prospect againAlso, Buck Coats is designated as a "Taxi-Squad" player, meaning he'll only be available on Wednesdays and Saturdays or if there is an injury. And the Cubs will be adding one more pitcher before games begin sometime in early October.
